Sports and P.E
The core intention of our physical education curriculum is to develop children’s fundamental movement skills; however, the key aim is not to develop isolated pockets of skills but to develop webs of interrelated skills. At Nonsuch Primary School, physical education focuses on a range of physical activities whereby these skills can be built upon throughout the units. We have key threads that run through the physical education curriculum. These include gymnastics, swimming, running, jumping and throwing, dance, OAA, attacking, defending and shooting, and hitting, catching and running. By carefully mapping these threads across the curriculum and revisiting them in different learning sequences, children will master physical movements. They will have the opportunity to use these to engage in competitive sports and everyday activities.
